"Robin was discharged late yesterday evening and is now home resting. The doc still has Robin on opiates for pain and this will continue during Robins healing. We are still waiting for the pathology report from the cancerous kidney to determine what stage of cancer Robin has. The surgeon says that the tumor had grown to half the size of Robins kidney. While the immediate threat is now removed, we don't know if the doctor got it all, or if there is a chance of the cancer having already spread "cell wise" into other parts of his organs. This may be just the beginning of treatment for Robin. The pathology of the tumor will tell what stage cancer Robin had/has. This could mean further treatments. Apparently, Robin is not out of the woods yet but at least the kidney with the issue has been removed. Robin has a follow up appointment in two weeks. We will know more by then. "

Bryan. Thanks, bro.

Great to hear from you so soon Robin! Opioids will screw up your poop mechanism. Hopefully they gave you some laxatives to take, that don't mess with your other treatment regimen.

In Theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In Practice, there is.

Yeah. Three days of dilaudid and hydracodone and a prescription for even more. So doc did give me a prescription for the guts to get organized. My arms look like someone slammed them in a truck door. Bruised as heck from blown veins. Left arm is almost clear but my right arm looks awful. Okay, that's all for now. I'm too stoned to talk about anything more serious. Peace Out.
